You didn't get what I said, did you?
Luis Morgan
Well, explain yourself then, because there might be a misunderstanding. What I meant is that Xorg must be run as root (well, almost, it's just painful without: wiki.gentoo.org

Thanks for the link I was searching for why xorg really needs root.
But yeah I always thought that adding the user to the video and input group would be sufficient.
And with setuid I meant that dm's could set the eid of the xorg process to the user's eid (if for some reason dm's would need root aswell).
Btw nixos didn't setuid xorg.

Also forgot to mention, adding a user to a group isn't tidious at all.
